NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — When New Yorkers order take-out, they expect the deliveryman to bring it hot and on the dot, but the city’s Department of Transportation says that expectation is causing some businesses to become lax on safety.

“I want commercial cyclists to wear helmets — that’s the law. I want them to wear reflective vests — that’s the law. I want bells on their bicycles — that’s the law,” he stressed.

Vacca said he was tired of getting “complaint about commercial bicyclists driving the wrong-way on one-way streets.” He and other council members are writing bills to make certain the crackdown takes place.

“New Yorkers believe they have a constitutional right to great food delivered to their door while it’s still hot – and they’re right” said Council Member Dan Garodnick. “That cannot mean that we will compromise the safety of our streets in the process.”

The DOT also said the NYPD would continue its ongoing enforcement against cyclists who ride on the sidewalk or against traffic among other infractions.
